What does “accuracy” mean of a colorimeter?

The "accuracy" of a colorimeter refers to how closely its measurement results align with the true values, primarily influenced by systematic errors and random errors, how closely its measured color data (e.g., Lab values, density) aligns with the true color properties of a sample or certified standard. Specifically, it includes key indicators such as color coordinate accuracy, luminance accuracy, and data repeatability.

It reflects the instrument’s ability to minimize deviations caused by component variations, environmental factors, or calibration drift—ensuring results reliably represent the actual color, which is critical for quality control and brand consistency in industries like printing, food, textiles, paint and coatings.
